One final gigantic THANK YOU from the very bottom of our hearts to you.

We are SO grateful for the help and support you’ve given us, now WE want to return the favor!

As a way to help US thank YOU, our friends at the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino in Reno have given us a special discount code to be shared with friends and supporters of FtA.

The Code...BMFTA will get you one of their regular rooms for $45/night, and one of their really nice Summit Suites for just $65/night, any time between now and a couple of weeks after Burning Man.  A $10 resort fee and then taxes are added to this, but its still a GREAT deal!

www.grandsierraresort.com

A bunch of us will be there, decompressing,  from 9/5 - 9/7, and we hope you'll join us!

And don’t forget to come see us on the Playa.  We want to meet and/or see again every single one of you, and thank you in person for your support!  

We’ll be at 5:00 and A and “open” from 11-2 every day if you want to come by and have that beer with us, or if you want to pick up your shwag from this kickstarter campaign.  If you’re not going to be there, please be a little patient because we’re actually meeting said shwag en route this year!  While you’re there, check out our on-playa reservation system and ask us about the FtA schedule - we’re thrilled to be hosting Burner Food Magic and Playa Chefs’ Roundtable: Let the Playa Release Your Inner (Julia) Child, and the very first ever in the history world... A Playa Kitchen Tour!  We’re very, very excited about this.

Culinary love,

The whole Feed the Artists crew
